I got a pinched nerve in my neck on the left side, just below my ear. It is starting to get a bit bad and I can't even run anymore. I ran last Thursday and I could barely walk or move my fingers on the left side. I do not know how this happened i.e (No kicky s3x or something similar ) . I played lots of Cricket in high school (95-99), plus I had a mild case of nocturnal epilepsy between 2003 and 2004.

I have been to Neurologists and I just want to know if any of you here have been through such stuff or if you know somebody. How did you go about addressing this? It is killing me, I am starting to feel old. :cry:
 
Dunno what exactly your problem is but occasionally I get something stuck between my should blades & neck which can be painful and immobilises you. I just take some Cataflam to reduce whatever inflammation there is.
 
I had a bicycle accident as a kid and shifted a cord in my neck.

I get horrid headaches and "pinched nerves" in my neck and shoulders from this.

Only real solution I have found is to spray with joint-eaze and take a syndol if it gets to bad.
 
I woke up the one day in June and could hardly move my left arm. Pinched nerve. Went to Chiro and was better a few days later. Same thing happened again 2 weeks ago, went to Chiro and no pain at the moment. I didn't go to work as I couldn't drive.

Damn, I was hoping that there is a permanent fix for this. I have been told about Physiotherapy and as a last resort; surgery.

edit: I am currently on Trepellin and it dries my mouth out, plus Epilim.

Dude, I hope you're taking this seriously. Just burried a friend's sister from exactly the same problem!

er..say what?? :cry: please tell me you joking. I have too many things going for me to die, there has to be a better way. I usually have to wear a neck brace when I am on the PC, I cannot workout anymore. :(

Most of the time it goes away after a while, do you sit in front of a pc often, if you do, change the position of your monitor to a position differently from now, either sligthly to the right or to the left, so that your sitting angle is adjusted.

Exercise that will help:
- stand in the ease position
- keep your lower body straight and turned forward
- rotate your head from side to side
- gently at first - till warmed up
- increase your angle of rotation (especially on pinched side)
- lift your arms to the side at shoulder height and hold them out
- continue doing the head rotations with your arms now lifted and spread out

- stop
- back to relaxed position
- breathe deeply and slowly about 6 - 10 times
- shrug your shoulders up and down
- do about 10 to 15 shrugs
- now shrug your shoulder and rotate your head from side to side

- stop
- start exercise 1 again
- this time lift your hands above you head

- tip
- phantom boxing is also a good exercise

afterwards:

lie flat on your back on your bed
breathe deeply and slowly ten times
then lie for 5 minutes just relaxing the body

last tips
keep the area warm - wear a scarf
deep breathing - decreases the tension on the pinched nerve

Kicking during sex will do that.

Thanks for the info Wrathex, I will give it a try.
 
I've pinched a nerve (Or maybe even bruised) in my right arm, last week Thursday. Its feeling a lot better now but it still feels weird, getting strange sensations every now and again. Only thing I find helps is resting it. I've been told these types of injuries take time to heal...

I usually get this burning sensation around my left shoulder blade, especially when my back is against a chair or some hard surface. At first I thought it was my heart, but the Cardio disproved that premise, much to my dismay because I always thought I was half-man, half-machine and sonar images of my heart dashed my fantasy. :o
